Convert centigram to gamma
Please provide values below to convert centigram [cg] to gamma [gamma], or Convert gamma to centigram.
1 cg = 10000 gamma. To convert centigram to gamma, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gamma = 0.0001 cg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 cg = 10000 gamma
- 1 gamma = 0.0001 cg
- 10 cg = 100000 gamma
- 100 cg = 1000000 gamma
How to Convert Centigram to Gamma
1 cg = 10000 gamma
Example: convert 15 cg to gamma:
15 cg = 15 × 10000 gamma = 150000 gamma

Centigram
A centigram (cg) is a unit of mass equal to one hundredth of a gram, primarily used for measuring small quantities.
History/Origin
The centigram was introduced as part of the metric system in the 19th century to facilitate precise measurements in science and commerce, especially in contexts requiring small mass units.
Current Use
Today, the centigram is mainly used in scientific, medical, and jewelry contexts where precise small measurements are necessary, although grams are more commonly used in everyday applications.
Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
Frequently Asked Questions
